I know Racetech makes a quite of few products for F4i forks. But would like to get into Racing, but would like to stiffen and tune the forks to take to the road-course track. What woud be the cheapest way of tuning a 2002 fork?

 

prolly with a flathead screwdriver and 14mm wrench u could tune it cheapest

 

im sure some guys around here would be more than willing to help with this if u really wanna do something to help switch to rr works... (or any inverted fork)

other than that take it to the track and have some of the other guys there help u set her up.... most guys at track days are more than willin to help

 

Not to come off like a newb, are inverted forks really better for the track? More track ready tunable than regular forks?

 

lol i love the term "regular forks" hah on a sportbike inverted forks are regular im not sure why honda neglected to put them on the f4i...

I would say its a worth while investment... other may disagree... i personally love the 50mm r1 forks i put on my f4i

 

does that mean you needed new clip ons??

 

Ok, Why are they better?

 

The reason both the forks are better is that they are stiffer. With conventional forks the smalll, inner portion (upper tube) is very long and susceptible to flexing. By making that portion only as long as the travel and placing at the bottom of the fork inverted forks are stiffer but usually heavier as well.

 

yea i just got a set of 1000rr adj. clip ons off ebay for 80 bucks

 

or u could just have some fork work dont to your current forks... get them re valved with better valves and put new seals in them and have it set up at a track...

but in the long run for a track bike ide go inverted... just my 2 cents...
